Yet more stomach-churning stunt footage has emerged as film crews continue to shoot scenes for the upcoming Fast and Furious 9 movie in Edinburgh.

This time two daredevils can be seen plunging from Regent Bridge down towards Calton Road in full view of the watching public.

Throughout Wednesday crews could be seen piling up dozens of soft mats and cardboard boxes as a landing-pad was created beneath the bridge in preparation for the jump.

The bridge carries Waterloo Place over Calton Road, and those are the two routes currently off-limits to traffic as teams get hard to work making the movie blockbuster.

It's not the first time the famous Regent Bridge has enjoyed a starring role on the big screen.

The structure was prominent in iconic 1996 hit Trainspotting, of course being used in the chase scene towards the end of the movie where Renton has the near-miss with the car.

Edinburgh Live reported yesterday (Wednesday) footage of Fast and Furious stunt actors leaping out of a third-floor window near North Bridge. The hair-raising video showed a stunt man wearing a harness and other safety gear spiralling out over Waterloo Place.
